DH isn't moving yet. We need to make some decisions about what we're doing with the house. We're going to try and keep it, it may mean that he pays half of the mortgage but I have to pay half of his rent. Anyway, that option is cheaper than me paying the whole mortgage and it means I don't have to move. Then in a few years when we have some equity in the house we can split the profits or whatever. We haven't really worked out the nitty gritty details yet. I am still really busy at work and DH and I haven't had time to sit down and properly nut it all out. Right now we're just living in separate rooms but everything else is pretty much staying the same.
On the weight front I have maintained my lowest weight this year and weighed in this morning at 75.8. I can't believe after three weeks of not going to the gym and eating crap for every meal that I have actually maintained my lowest 2007 weight. Maybe it's the stress, maybe it's all the running up and down stairs I do at work. Maybe it's the fact that I don't have time to eat much (but when I do eat it's takeaway). I have started taking WW meals to work again so that I don't get tempted by the takeaway orders everyone else is putting in. I felt very righteous on Friday eating my canneloni when everyone else was having chicken schnitzel burgers with cheese bacon and sour cream!! I did have one Tim Tam though.
My Mum gave me a walking machine so I really want to set that up and start using it. I can't get to the gym at all (I have put my membership on hold but will try and cancel it next month) so I need to have something I can do at home now.
I don't think i'm going to make my goal of being in the 60's by the end of July but I should hopefully have conquered my 74.9 goal and well on my way to 72 kilos which will be 25 kilos lost, which is my next goal.
I'm not working this weekend and DH is going to a mate's house tonight, so DS and I have all weekend to ourselves. I really need to tidy the house up but i'm just feeling very drained and lazy, maybe i'll get into it tomorrow. Right now i'm still in my jammies just enjoying some time with DS (well not RIGHT now, cos RIGHT now i'm on the computer, but you know what I mean!!).
I need to venture out to the shops later to get some groceries cos i've got the Old Mother Hubbard thing going on in there.
At least the rain has eased up, maybe my swamp of a garden will get a chance to dry out soon.
My progress

Oh Bri..I hope you can get to stay in your home...
Breakups suck...
Take care and I hope work settles down soon and you can get some time with your little man...
And more importantly for yourself.
Well done on maintaining your lowest weight for the year... amazing at such a stressful time.
Well done, you're doing so much better than me.
Get someone in to do the housework - you work too hard to spend the weekends doing chores.
I'm so happy to see you are holding it all together and are not totally miserable... It will be good if you can hold onto your home until you have some decent equity in it making it worthwhile selling at a later date. It will be a good base for your wee man too.... hope you are having a semi decent weekend chick.
Hugs chick, and don't forget to look after YOU too - the cleaner idea is not a bad one!!
Well done on maintaining that weight, I'm sure you'll have no trouble moving towards your next goal once your current stresses start to ease.
Take care xx
It's good you maintained your weight. That's hard to do sometimes. Bummer if you will need to sell your house. Sound like maybe you won't? That would be good. But, if it was me, I always worry about having the money co-mingled when there is a breakup and would want a clean split. I don't know. I'm glad you have some time with your DH and are doing well considering all that is going on.
This is a really hard for you but you seem to be doing really well. You have your priorities and you are not trying to 'solve' everything all at once. Good on you. As for maintaining your weight, the fact that you are not indulging in cheeseburgers etc on Frdiays when everyone is, with al that is going on is testimont to who you are Bri. You are woman. Hear you Roar!! I love you sensible approach to slowly heading in the right direction. With everything going on, I'm going to keep watch and make sure you don't put on weight - just like I did. Don't undo all your hard work. One day at a time Bri - and you'll be fine. Big BIG hug to you.
excellent work on maintaining especially when everything has gone to hell!
i hope it stays amicable between you and DH. these things are always tough.
take care, thinking of you

You are definitely on the right track with your weight if you can keep it steady at a time like this.
I don't know what to say but be strong, and keep true to your head and heart. You will come out the other side and you will be a better person for it. As long as you can maintain a friendship then your parenting can be done in a great fashion together.
